"RSS" stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS is a standard for publishing regular updates to web-based content. Using this standard, web publishers provide updates, such as
latest news headlines, special announcements, press releases or weblog postings through their RSS content, which is also known as RSS "Feed". What’s good about RSS is that anyone can start using it, whether a small business marketer or a large publisher.Many Internet users are steadily switching to RSS reading applications (also known as aggregators) to collect and monitor their feeds in one place. RSS makes it possible for anyone to review large number of sites within a short period of time.
On
other hand, RSS allows publishers an instant widespread distribution of their content to consumers.
So you want to know who publishes RSS feeds?
Some of
biggest names on
Internet now offer content via RSS. * Yahoo! * MSN * CNET * BBC News Headlines * ABC News
* CNN News * Amazon.com * E-week.com
* Plus...many, many more! I guess you want to know
reason why I love RSS technology so much. I’m saying this as a reader and not as a publisher.
Let me count
reasons:
1. No spam
2. No ads
3. No more clutter in my inbox
4. No more mails taking up a huge amount of space in my inbox.
5. No more saving newsletters to "read later" that I know will just clutter up my inbox and probably never get read (or even get deleted)
6. No more emails loaded with huge images and HTML, which take ages to download and in
process clog up my connection making it ultra-slow.
7. Being able to go and catch up on my favorite newsletter or blogs anytime I feel like it - just like relaxing and reading a newspaper.
Can you add any more reasons here?
Maybe we can make this
longest "Why I Love RSS" list there is ;)
